Well the chief just came on live stream. They shot the guy.
So much for the negotiation factor of police work. :-/

Hmmm. Not a good scene. Isn't Discovery the channel that was going to air a show by Sarah Palin about 'her' Alaska? If so, I'm not surprised that people are upset about their questionable motives. After all, she's one of the most outspoken proponents of oil drilling in sensitive habitats and shooting wolves from airplanes. These are ideas that Discovery seems to oppose on the surface, but maybe they're just another cog in the propaganda machine.
Not that taking hostages is an appropriate solution, of course...

ever seen the commercials on Discovery Channel? or History channel or NGC, for that matter? they seem like they target a certain demographic that leans right, some of the programs are a bit alarmist too "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah
